AFAIK that only applies to hospital emergency rooms. Your local doctor certainly can refuse service if you can't pay the bill.

- lotsofpulp 9y agoYes, of course. I meant to convey that for the providers that can't refuse, like hospitals or ambulances, sticker prices not realistic because the provider is having to gamble on which portion of the people they treat can and cannot pay, and how much, so they inflate their prices extremely high. And also to negotiate with insurers.
